Hwaseong City to Provide Support for Repairs of Aging Public Facilities

Hwaseong City announced on the 19th that it has finalized a '2011 Apartment Complex Support Project' plan to support up to 80% of repair costs for aging common facilities within apartment complexes for comfortable and safe residential environments.

According to the city, eligible projects are repairs of common facilities such as children's playgrounds, street lights and security lights within complexes, elderly community centers, disability accessibility facilities, and resident fitness facilities in apartment complexes of 20 or more households that have passed 8 years or more since occupancy inspection. The support amount will cover up to 80% of total construction costs within a maximum of 50 million won per complex within the budget range. However, multi-unit housing and row houses built under the Building Act are not included in the support targets.

The city will accept applications for apartment complex subsidy support through the Hwaseong City Hall Housing Division or relevant eup·myeon·dong offices by March 22, conduct on-site inspections by March 31, and determine support eligibility through deliberation by the Apartment Complex Review Committee.

A city official said, "We plan to prioritize support for children's playgrounds, which are legally mandatory facilities, and if applications exceed the budget, projects may be limited to one site per complex."

Specific support amounts will be provided as follows within the budget range: 80% for total construction costs under 20 million won, 70% for 20 million won or more but less than 30 million won, 60% for 30 million won or more but less than 40 million won, and 50% of total construction costs for 40 million won or more.

Meanwhile, the city's apartment complex support project has been providing support since 2007 under Article 43 of the Housing Act and the Hwaseong City Housing Ordinance, and in 2010, it provided 350 million won to 13 complexes.
